Accepted Answer

The economic concept of income requires that all assets be reported at their fair value on the balance sheet, and any unrealized gains or losses must be reported in earnings.

Choices A and B are incorrect because they suggest that only realized gains and losses should be reported in earnings, which does not align with the economic concept of income. Choice D is incorrect because unrealized gains and losses should be reported in earnings, not other comprehensive income.

Under this concept, investments are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income to avoid affecting the earnings until they are realized.
